A Pah Bah is a traditional Thai ceremony for offering robe-cloth to monastics.

In the Buddha’s time, people left scraps of cloth in the forest for the monks to find and use to piece together their robes.

These days, lay supporters — known as “sponsors” — invite the monks to receive robe cloth and other offerings at a Pah Bah ceremony. When someone (or a group) sponsors a Pah Bah for the Hermitage, the Board of Stewards (Sanghata) takes an active role in helping to organize and coordinate the event.

Can you help? If so, thank you so much – we can really use your support. We can use volunteers to; help set up, move chairs & tables, greet people, clean up, or lend a hand in the kitchen. you’d just like more information about the Pah Bah, please visit us at pahbah@sanghata or simplydonate directly.
